The Amazon blurb says:
“Bachelor Pad Economics” is THE
financial advice bible for men…and any women who are bold enough to
read it!
Good Advice.
The book is an encyclopedia of economic advice. Up until now,
we had to learn these things the hard way - by making stupid mistakes
and losing money and time. Some of us suffered serious harm because
we didn't have the information in this book.
The book is over 500 pages long with 15 chapters and an
extensive list of resources. There is too much to cover in detail,
so I'm focusing on three topics close to my heart. (You will find
the Table of Contents at the end.)
First, read the introduction,
How to Read this Book,
and then read
Chapter 3 - Philosophy. After that, skip around
as necessity and interest guide you.
Education. Chapter 4. A college education can, and probably
will, leave you broke, with debts you cannot escape, and - worst of
all - no job prospects. There are ways to get a college education
without being shackled to the banks. There are jobs that do not
require degrees, jobs which pay better than those that do.
Do you have a white collar office job? The guy who fixes
your car makes more than your boss, and Mr. Mechanic didn't rack up a
ton of college loan debt getting there.
Girls. Chapter 7. No matter how you cut it, men have a
relationship of some sort with women. We all have a mother, no
exceptions. If you are a hermit, your relationship is abstinence.
If you are a pick up artist, you're heavily involved. A MGTOW can be
anywhere between these extremes.
The question addressed in the book is: How does it affect you
economically? A hermit has it lots cheaper than a club hopping PUA.
Both have a better shot at financial solvency than a married man with
children heading toward the inevitable divorce.
If you decide to go PUA, this chapter has all the how-to info
you need - not what you'd expect in a book with "Economics"
in the title.
[A personal aside: I wouldn’t want the PUA's chances for
catching an incurable disease - or getting brought up on false rape
charges. I'm not sure getting laid is worth an STD. In fact, I’ve
tried it both ways, more than once, and I prefer disease-free.
Likewise, I'd prefer to live a long and peaceful life without
defending myself in court. -WM]
Housing and transportation. Chapters 8 & 9. For
most people, our biggest expenses (before retirement) will be paying
for where we live and our cars. In here you'll learn how to live and
drive without getting skinned alive.
Retirement. Chapter 15 - End of Life Planning. The
day may come when you are too old to work, or just plain sick and
tired of it. You need to support yourself. Maybe you want to
"retire" young (I did). How are you going to do it?
By the way, if you spend the last year of your life in a
hospital bed stuck full of tubes, then this will cost you more than
most people's houses. Your widow and orphaned children will be left
with a mountain of your debts, and your last memories will be of a
living hell.
My recommendation: Buy Bachelor Pad Economics.
Consult this book before doing anything important.
